The 3nm GAA process was intended to take on various TSMC architectures on the same lithography, but Samsung has been reported numerous times to have hit a major snag regarding yields. The latest update stated that the Korean foundry was experiencing a 20 percent yield, which would explain why the Exynos 2500 would be delayed and not be found in the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. However, the company also introduced the Exynos W1000 for its Galaxy Watch range, and it has been mass produced on the 3nm GAA node, hinting that the rumors floating around might be nothing but hot air.

A 3-day strike by Samsung employees has commenced today, with roughly 30,000 workers hailing from the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU) leaving their posts, demanding higher compensation as the Korean giant has failed to resolve. Previously, it was reported the NSEU demanded a 6.5 percent increase in their annual compensation, along with a piece of the profits that Samsung enjoys. It has been the first time in more than five decades that workers have called in a strike, but at the time of writing, there has been no production disruption. 30,000 employees going on strike make up almost 25 percent of […]
Fortune is favoring Samsung for the second quarter in a row because just like its Q1 2024 earnings, where the company netted an incredibly impressive 933 percent operating profit growth compared to Q1 2023, the Korean giant expects to witness a similar outcome, but this time, the rewards are expected to be much higher. In its Q2 2024 guidance, the company predicts a 15-fold rise in operating profit, as rebounding semiconductor prices driven by the AI boom have helped turn around Samsung’s financial outlook. Samsung predicts that its operating profit for Q2 2024 will reach $7.54 billion 2023 was tough […]
Samsung's HBM3E memory, which has been the subject of industry rumors, expects to complete NVIDIA's qualification soon as the Korean giants prepare for mass production. Rumors Of HBM3E Passing Qualification Tests At NVIDIA Are False, Verifies Samsung, Claiming That They Are Working With Partners Samsung's journey in the HBM segment hasn't been optimal since the Korean giant hasn't made huge strides compared to its competitors like SK hynix.

Samsung is reportedly struggling with improving its 3nm GAA yields, which would ultimately be the reason for the Exynos 2500’s delay. However, this obstacle has not prevented the company from officially announcing the Exynos W1000, its first SoC fabricated on its cutting-edge architecture that delivers incredible power efficiency while obtaining significantly higher single-core and multi-core performance. Here are more details that you would love to check out. New ‘1 + 4’ CPU cluster helps the Exynos W1000 achieve high single-core and multi-core performance compared to previous-generation SoC Apart from the obvious benefits that come with the 3nm GAA process, Samsung has […]
For the past few generations, Samsung has always introduced three new models of its flagship tablet series, but the company could take a different route with its upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 lineup. Instead of launching three models, the Korean giant could discontinue the base model, proceeding with just the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. It is possible that the smaller slate was never that popular amongst consumers, and with Apple’s newest M4 OLED iPad Pro lineup consisting of two models, Samsung would compete on an even playing field. Samsung could pursue a cost-effective launch strategy […]
The Exynos 2500 rumors echoed a series of claims that made us believe that Samsung’s first 3nm GAA chipset meant for smartphones could finally be a worthy competitor to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Unfortunately, it was stated by an analyst that due to the poor yields of the Korean giant’s cutting-edge manufacturing process, the chipset would not arrive in time, meaning that the Galaxy S25 series would launch exclusively with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest flagship SoC. We now get to talk in-depth about another rumor stating that Samsung’s 3nm GAA yields are at less than 20 percent. A string […]
Samsung might not change the display size of the Galaxy S25 Ultra or upgrade the battery capacity, but the company can make it more comfortable to hold thanks to a design change hinted by one tipster. Apparently, the company’s 2025 flagship will sport rounded corners similar to the volatile Galaxy Note 7, and that is not the only change expected to arrive because the Korean giant is rumored to make its next flagship thinner than previous-generation models. Thickness of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to be around 8.4mm, making it slightly thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra The ‘boxy’ […]
